Good. Agree. Strike out Indiana. North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Ohio are more, then enough, by itself.
Well Pennsylvania has been rightly corrected by the courts, ditto Virginia. North Carolina is about to be redrawn too leaving Ohio the main state left with a highly egregious Republican Gerrymander (well Texas too but demographic and political changes are about to turn that into a dummymander so the GOP is about to reap what they sowed anyway without they intervention of the courts). So to be fair the courts should also step in to force the likes of Maryland, Illinois and Massachusetts (I never hear this one mentioned but the districts there are really bad) to redraw their districts in a sensible way too.
Hopefully the courts will soon rule all gerrymandering illegal and mandate the use of non-partisan commissions like they have in most other countries with specific set goals such as keeping counties, municipalities and communities of interest as intact as possible.
The reason why nobody ever talks about Massachusetts is because a fair map would produce the exact same result as the current map. The only likely difference between the current map and a nonpartisan one would be that two of the seats would be competitive, but Republicans would still have a great deal of difficulty winning.
Much of the court challenges have been issued by groups affiliated with the major parties and have focused on how these congressional maps have drawn out one voice or the other(Democrats targeting PA and NC, Republicans targeting MD), so MA being mostly ignored makes sense.
MD and IL are rather simple partisan cases, the Ds have more seats than a fair map would produce, so the GOP and fair map groups target them. It should be noted, though, that the amount of seats that the Ds would lose with fair maps(about 2 from IL and 1 from MD) is easily countered just by putting a fair map in OH(2-4 additional seats).
